Andrew Allen

Like the chicken and the egg, no one is quite sure which came first:
Anti-Hero Pro, Andrew Allen, or his hometown of San Juan Capistrano, California.

He is the small beach town’s skateboarding claim to fame, and
without him the ‘burb might fall into the sea. The quiet, dapper,
street technician, with his deadpan sense of humor, is also the glue
that holds the van together on Anti-Hero and Vans trips. His unique
mix of tranny skills and switch street prowess made him an obvious
choice for inclusion on the Stage 4 collaborative shoe. His insight
and input proved to be invaluable in the design of one of the most
groundbreaking Vans shoes ever, just as his presence on any skate
mission instantly improves the session.
